Sanborn, Vail & Co., Los Angeles, CaL WAS A CHINESE PUZZLE AND MR. M'COMAS HAD TO GIVE ttT UP THE SUE YING BIGAMY CASE Is Dismissed—Too Much Lying and Perjury Render Conviction Utterly Impossible Deputy District Attorney McC'omo't caused the case against-Mrs. Sue YlngTom Wo, the Christianized Chinese woman, held to answer by Justice Young some time ago for bigamy, to be dismissed yesterday by Judge Smith, on account of facts, he said, that had come to his knowledge lately which- satisfied him that no Jury woulel convict her. Mr. McComas was seen later and re quested to elate what those facts were. He said that the re was good proof that the prosecuting witness, Ah Wing, who mar ried Sue Ying in ISD3. was not tbe parly for whom the marriage license had been Is sued, but that he personated tho real Ah Wing. The license was obtained by a white man, Luther D. Loui, who signed the affi davit wh'ch must be subscribed to beforc t'ne license can be Issued. It Is claimed that this man acted ln collusion with some Chinamen: that he turned over the docu ment lo the Ah Wing who caused Sue Ying's arrest, and that Ibis fellow married her In the place of the real Ah Wins whose name had been used In the license and who departed from the I'nlted States for China many moons ago, and afterward from this mumlane sphere after he had done obei sance at tho shnine of his forefathers. During the examination there were many polins brought out which the cross-exam ination of the witnesses for the prosecution later on showed lo be untrue, and there was so much of a character to Indicate that Sue Ying was valued only as a human chattel which had cost $1700 that the above related fishy story is considered a suffic ient excuse to dismiss tho entire proceed ings. It Is not contended that Attorney neigh J. Crawford, who testified that he wit nessed the marriage, was mistaken when he said that the complaining witness was tho male party to the ceremony. It Is ad mitted that the fat Chinaman was married to Sue Ying, but the fact that the marriage license was Intended for another man seems, in the eyes of the deputy district attorney, to have Invalidated the whole nffair. so far as securing a convictifin Is concerned. The only thing that has not been ex plained satisfactorily by anybody yet is how the woman came to marry a bogus Ah Wing Instead of the real article with out making a protest, it being pre sumed that she was bent, not upon mar rying a name, but upon marrying a man. One of the principal grounds of Mr. Mc- Comas' for moving for a dismissal was the large cost that would be incurred by the county for a trial which he believed could only be terminated In an acquittal. There was so much perjury in the case, as in all Chinese cases, that he declined to go to trial with distrust for his own wit nesses uppermost in his mind. MRS. WRIGHT DISAPPOINTED | Judge Shaw Declines to Grant Her the Divorce She Desired Mrs. Minnie B. Wright did not succeed in convincing Judge Sbuw that her husband, Giueun, had made her work to support him; thut he had tuileei to provide the cob* muu necessaries of life for her and her chil dren, and that he had been cruel to her while they were living together ln Po mona. Of course, after she had accepted Sam GUmore's benevolent offer to provide for her and the three young Wrights by giving the plaintiff a house, rent free, and $40 per month In return for board and lodg ing, she had but little need of her hus band's assistance, although he said that he extended It whenever convenient. What ever time Mrs. Wright had to spare, not devoted to looking after Mr. GUmore's comforts, she employed ln giving dancing lessons, which also brought In a revenue. Gideon, on bis own showing, was a very amiable and complaisant husband, but he bucked on certain occasions. For instance, one time he had come to Los Angeles to spend the Christmas holidays with his fam ily. As soon as his wife saw him looming up she exclaimed that he was just on time, as she badly needed somebody to repair and clean out tbe hen house and to tlx up the buck yard. Wright thought about the matter a good deal, but, like the monkey which hud a light with the parrot, he said nothing at the time. When he got back to Pomona, however, he wrote a letter to his clelefit daughter, ln which he complained that they had treated him like a "hobo." Judge Shaw ordered Judgment to bo en tered for tho defendant, who had only asked that his wife's complaint against him be dismissed, and this was accordingly done. MR. FETTER'S JAG Caused Mrs. Dietrich to Miss Getting a Divorce Mrs. Ida J. Dietrich was denied a divorce yesterday from Carl H. Dietrich, by Judge Shaw. The ground alleged was adultery. Mrs. Dietrich said that her husband had visited a house of ill fame at 428 Alameda street, where he had had unlawful relations with a bad woman, whose name was un known to plaintiff. Dietrich had entered a general denial, hut failed to show up when the case came up for trial. At this time Mrs. Dietrich told all she knew about the matter, which was that her husband, who is a butcher, and four others hud gone together to the house of ill repute ln question and raised Cain. One of the men was a party named Will L. Fetter, by whom she expected to prove the adultery, but, unfortunately for her, he failed to show up, and Mrs. Dietrich did not get the divorce. About half an hour after court had ad journed Mr. Fetter rolled Into the court room, with a jag on of large proportions, and was proceeding to take a nap when he was asked about his business. He said that he had come for that case of Dietrich, and that he was sick of it. After fumbling in his pockets a little, he produced his sub poena, cussed the Dietrichs and-their di vorce suit, and walked off ln a limp condi tion. LOST AW EYE The Result to Hiss Carrie Piatt of Falling Into an Excavation The Pasadena and Pacific Railway com pany was made fhe defendant in a suit yesterday in which Miss Carrie Piatt asks for $30,000 damages. Miss Piatt says in her complaint that the company had last year caused excavations two feet deep to be made between the rails and ties of its roadbed along th* Suasst LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1898 boulevard, which were surroutieled by de bris and unmarked by lanterns or visible danger signals. Op the morning ot May 14th, 1897, she was passing across the Sun set boulevartl and fell into one ot these excavations in such an unfortunate- and vtoient manner that she permanently lost the s'ght ot one eye, he r bearing was im paired, her left ankle was broken anil she sustalneel other Injuries which have made a cripple of her. ARTHUR'S SENTENCE He Is Sent to San Quentin for the Term of His Natural Life Charles H. Arthur, the Pasadena black smith, was sentenced yesterday mornina by Judge Smith to be Imprisoned in the- San Quentin penitentiary for the term of his natural life, as an expiation for the murder of his mistress. Mrs. Mellsca Rar some. in January last. Attorney Copelar.e] made a request to the court on behalf of the prisoner* daughters, that he might be incarcerated at San yutn tln preferably to Fo'.eom, because they be ing residents of San Francisco It would make It easier for them :o see their father on tbe regular visiting days at the state prison. The convict was taken north im mediately by Deputy Sheriff McClure. Burglar Reid's Lament • W. A. Reid, a young man. who was con vic'.'ed of burglary in the tlrst degree a few days ago. was sentenced yesterday to Im prisonment in San Quentin for eight years by Judge Smllh. He entered the jewelry store of Mr. Appel on East Ptrst street and stole a large quantity of opticians' gooe',6. After the court had expressed his belief that the burglary had been deliberately and carefully planned by the prisoner, the latter registered a few kicks, the principal ones being that his partner In the job had not been arrested, that the detectives had lied when they testified he had confessed the burglary and that the witnesses he bad subpoenaed did not appear at the trial. Mr. Cohn's Pants L. M. Cohn yesterday sued Constable J. H. Johnston for the possession of cerlain merchandise or for $520 in lieu thereof ar.d for $150 damages. The plaintiff claims that he was lawfully possessed on ttie srh of April of one pair of pants marked 3724 and of numerous other pairs of pants, all marked, ln his store at 122 and 124 West First street, and that the defendant wrong fully seized and detained them and has re fused to return them. The Writ Denied Judge Tork yesterday denied the petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Francesca Melfcnilez and S. McDonald. Agnes McDonald, sister of the first defend ant and mistress of the second, who has, with her baby, been In terrible straits for the bare necessaries of life since her lover was locked up, took the matter very much to heart and shed tears. The prisoners themselves were unmoved, although their hopes of release had been great. Sent Back to China The fifteen Chinese who were arrested at Anaheim Landing several weeks ago were given a hearing before Judge Van Dyke yesterday in the fedieral court. They were fcund to be Illegally In the county and will be deported. The case of Wllgus vs. Van Sickles has been continued till Monday.
